Nice Classification

The Nice Classification is an international system used to categorize goods and services for trademark registration. Established by the Nice Agreement in 1957, it divides products and services into 45 distinct classes, making it easier for businesses and authorities to identify similar trademarks. For example, Class 25 includes clothing, while Class 35 covers advertising services. This structured classification helps streamline the trademark application process, reduces conflicts between similar marks, and facilitates international trademark registration by providing a common framework across countries.
